About this ebook
Originally published in 1906, a classic romantic thriller about a man who must live in a remote house in rural Indiana to receive his inheritance.
In order to inherit his grandfather’s fortune, a man must stay one year in the eccentric old man’s isolated mansion. If he succeeds, the entirety of the estate is his. If he doesn’t, everything goes to a young woman, whom the will forbids him to marry.
This suspense thriller contains all the elements of a good mystery story: a secluded house inhabited by mysterious creatures, a handsome hero, a forbidden romance, duels, ghosts, and an old-fashioned shoot-out.
